We’ve been captivated by Wilderado‘s energy since we first saw them open for Judah & The Lion over a year ago. Last weekend, we experienced them in a different light – quite literally – during a day set during Sasquatch! Music Festival 2018 Day 2. Shortly after, we met up with them to take a few portraits on the lawn. And it got fun. So here are most of those photos.

The sun’s light began to fade across The Gorge as Thunderpussy played to a tight crowd at the El Chupacabra stage on Day 1 of Sasquatch! Music Festival. We got to capture some of the glimmer of the early evening, and Thunderpussy has new fans because of it.

On May 22nd, the legendary punk rock band Hawthorne Heights made an incredible appearance at The Granada in Lawrence, Kansas. Photographer Ashleigh Lee was on hand to nab some of our favorite moments.

On Friday, March 25th, Day 1 of Sasquatch! Music Festival 2018 was incredibly hot, insanely gorgeous, and infinitely entertaining. Three acts we caught glimpses of were Son Little, Wolf Parade, and Whitney. Check out our highlights below!

Day 1 at Sasquatch! Music Festival 2018 was jaw-dropping. We started off our day at the Bigfoot stage, enjoying the musical stylings of Washington-based Giants in The Trees. The entire band was entertaining from the very first lines of the first song, to the end of the set. And we’re more than smitten with the way that Krist Novoselic danced while playing the accordion.

Freedom Fry is set to release their debut album Classic Friday, June 1st. I know Freedom Fry fondly as I recently reviewed their single off of Classic “Cold Blooded Heart.” Freedom Fry is an indie duo, whose voices were meant to be together. The duo consists of Parisian born Marie Seyrat, and Michigan born Bruce Driscoll. “Die Tryin” is the second single release off of Classic. A regretful love song, Freedom Fry sings on what could have been done differently. “I’m the worst, I’m a first class jerk, but I need you tonight,” Bruce humbly sings. “Oh I’m going to get you or I’m gonna die tryin,” belts the chorus. What may seem like a hopeless track at first, turns into a sweet, romantic track and the will to “die tryin” to do right by a lover.
Of course, I love “Cold Blooded Heart,” a not so romantic track cursing a heart breaker with “Cold blooded heart, yeah that’s how I pegged you from the start.” “Awake,” remains a little more upbeat and even “tropical.” “Awake! Here we go,” harmonize the duo. The song remains lifted with sounds of ukulele, bongos, and whistles. Shifting from the somber side of Freedom Fry, “Awake” simply remains a positive feel-good, indie song. One really cool thing about the release of Classic, is the album trailer. The artsy trailer on YouTube feature Emma Kenney (Yes, Debbie from the hit Showtime series, Shameless.) Emma navigates her way around downtown through coffee shops, thrift, and record stores with her walkman cassette player as each song off of Classic is previewed. The trailer is really something, as Freedom Fry allows a sneak preview of their debut album in an aesthetic and cinematic nature.
Classic is out tomorrow. Keep up with Freedom Fry here.
